The upside is that it likely means we will have at least one more year of Mora!

Well, it seems less likely that UCLA will win games without Rosen. I would doubt he'll keep his job as a sympathy move because he didn't have his best QB.
And I rather disagree with the idea that would likely be a Stanford positive.

I think on the margins, it also increases the chances that we have to play Rosen four times.

I assume you mean because he's likely to stay through his senior year now rather than go pro a year early, not that he's likely to get a medical red shirt, right? He played in 6 games so there's no way he's below the 30% threshold to qualify.

If he gets a first round grade, he's gone. Maybe even a 2nd round grade.

I'm inclined to agree. I don't see why he'd stick around for his senior year if he's a likely first or early second round pick.

Is it his throwing shoulder that's injured? If so, I don't think any team is going to risk drafting him in the first two or three rounds.

FWIW, the LA papers seem to think he is a slam dunk first round pick.
(If he comes back next year and doesn't show any ill effects of the injured shoulder I wouldn't think it would matter).
Re: Today in opponent attrition: Josh Rosen - ChicagoCard - 11-02-2016
I don't remember well enough to say for sure which shoulder it is, but I recall seeing the replay of the injury and I'm pretty sure it's obvious from that replay which shoulder it is.

Last year's first round pick made $17.9 million, while the 10th pick made $9.8 million. 2nd rounders averaged $4.8 million for a four year contract. Third round is $3.1 million, but just $682k is guaranteed. After that, deals are usually $2.3 mm. to $2.4 mms. Signing bonuses are separate.

Signing bonuses are usually the most significant part of NFL compensation, so it's essential to look at total compensation rather than base salaries. Last year the #1 pick (Goff) signed for $27.9 million, the #10 pick signed for $15.1 million, the last last selection of the first round (#31) signed for $8.27 million.
Not sure what Rosen's thought process will be, he has an affluent family and doesn't seem overly motivated by money. But the experience of his fellow SoCal phemom Matt Barkley could lead him to move on to the NFL at the earliest opportunity rather than endure the risk of further injury and diminished prospect status.

I don't know if an additional year at UCLA would figure prominently in Rosen's priorities. I don't know if it would contribute further to his development, I mean. He'd probably be better off signing now than chasing after "unfinished business," whatever that would mean for his senior year.
Re: Today in opponent attrition: Josh Rosen -

Either way he has to play (or sit out) next season before he can declare for the NFL draft, so a lot depends on how his 2017 college season goes.

Exactly. After all, how many times can one sit in a hot tub with hot college-aged UCLA co-eds?

Guarantee you Rosen's lost track...
